I have VL 5.8 SOHO loaded on a Micronics TransPort GX3 notebook and I am trying to get it to recognize my PC cards (PCMCIA memory type).

Using VASM, I click on "adding a mount point" and the card is not listed. Using KinfoCenter, the card is not listed under storage devices. Under PCMCIA, KinfoCenter indicates no controllers are installed. Under PCI, however, the list of devices includes a Texas Instruments PCI1420 CardBus Bridge.

Just for the heck of it, I added the line you gave me at the end of your message to see if anything happened. Its like the line wasn't there.................Nothing. I checked VASM for a way to enable PCMCIA support but didn't see anything.

It would be my thought that these devices should be seen asa regular type disk.

Open a terminal and as root type:

fdisk -l

I believe you will see your cards, you can also look at dmesg. Another thing to try would be to look at /var/log/messages and then insert the card and thenlook at that file again. You should see something that changed. Post those types of changes.
